Forever in our Hearts

This poem is dedicated to my uncle who passed away a few years ago.
And i miss him like crazy.!

I tried to stay strong for you But I broke down crying I couldn’t stand to see your face I set the teddy bear down And cried in my brothers arms My world shattered when I said goodbye My world is never gonna be the same How could this have happened? I seen you a week ago, but I didn’t know you would leave I seen you crying but I couldn’t cry Now as I stand here, tears falling from my eyes Thoughts come to my mind I know you went to a better place And I know you were suffering down here I just still can’t believe your gone But your memories will live on in our hearts forever.

I can completely connect with this article of poetry, my grandfather just passed away of cancer about a month ago and it is still fresh in my mind. I really do love this passage and all I haVE TO SAY IS TO KEEP WRITING.

It feels like you released a lot of emotions, emotions I couldn't and still haven't released about the the death of a close one. So wonderful job on such an amazing peice of work and for expressing how you felt in that situation. This truely inspires me.
